I cannot help with the Raspberry Pi nor the soundcard, but once you get
that straightened out, I can tell you how to set the transmit soundcard
audio level for the K2.
We have heard a lot about the K3/K3S, KX3 and KX2 requiring 4 bars with
the 5th flickering on Transmit audio - this is the No ALC point for
those radios.
The K2 is the same, but the ALC display in the LED Bargraph of the K2 is
different. Any ALC bars indicate ALC action. So the answer is to
advance the audio until you see an ALC indication, and then back off a
bit until it disappears.
Once the audio level is set, the advice for all the Elecraft gear is the
same, leave the audio level alone and adjust the power output with the
POWER knob.
You may want to check on Jim Brown's K9YC advice for properly bonding
computer, soundcard and transceiver. If not, you may need to use an
interface box to eliminate hum, buzz, and noise (but Jim's advice is
better if you implement the whole solution.

Hi Jim,
I can’t give any suggestions / answers regarding the K2 part of the question,
but…. I run a KX3 connected to my Raspberry Pi 3 and operate WSJT-X JT65, JT9, and
MSK144. Also use FLDIGI, but very, very seldom. I use a Tascam external USB sound
card: the US125M model. With WXJT-X up and running, if I select the
Preferences->Audio tab, here is what I have:
Input: sysdefault: CARD=CODEC Left
Output: sysdefault: CARD=CODEC Mono
And yes, there a bunch of devices listed in that drop-down, but the above works
just fine for me.
I’m running Raspian Jessie for the OS, and my WSJT-X is a development version:
1.7.1 r7557
Hope that helps on the audio side.

Replies on-list, please. I'm also interested in the answer, and I'm sure there
are others.

Has anyone figured out how to control a K2 from RPi running WSJT-X (or
FLDIGI,etc.)?
Also, has anyone been able to run a digital program using a USB soundcard? I
have a Star Tech 7.1 connected to my RPi. At the moment I am trying to get it
to work with WSJT-X.
I am running Debian Jessie.
The sound card is recognized by the OS. When I run WSJT-X and select the Audio
tab and select the Input drop down, there is a list of 22 sound cards none of
which is the USB card. A similar issue exists on the Output selection. I don’t
understand what I am seeing. How do I get to see the USB card in WSJT-X?
Note that I have made forum postings on WSPRnet and RPi ham Yahoo groups
without yet getting a solution.
I hope someone can help with this very frustrating situation. Also note that
this is my first experience with a RPi and my Linux knowledge is limited.
